- Thank you for the wonderful comment. Gee I guess this is my first
- flame... Feels great. :-) First of all you semi-evolved-semian JR-Comm
- has it because he ASKED for permission to include it in his software.
- Second of all, I don't believe that ANSI is copyrighted. It is a
- *standard*. Thirdly, the reason that Skyterm never evolved into something
- worth using, was because some IDIOT stole the Skypix (c) protocol and put
- it into C-NET without permission. In DIRECT violation of copyrights.
